When I first started exploring macro, I was always thrilled and obsessed with the magnification factor. During my first year exploring macro, I was always going for bigger and bigger magnification. This year marks my second year in macro photography. This year, I have set a few goals to achieve in my macro photography exploration. One of 'em is to compose better. What I have noticed in my macro outings with friends and forum members is that they tend to shoot from a diagonal angle. Why? Because it's easier to shoot. Even I do shoot that way. Well, time for a change, and put a little bit more effort in giving yourself the opportunity to compose creatively. Remember, when you see a subject, don't view the subject 360 degress of a single axis, view it from 360 degrees from 2 axis. That'll give your creative side of the brain to start working :)
Here are some of my 'improved' macro shots. At least I think so. :)

macro freak!!!
wish i have mpe too :p
Min, did u use anything to attract that creatues? I mean maybe u put any sugar or anything there?
:P Capix. Every macrokaki needs MPE, but get a 1:1 macro lens first.
Ady, nope. I don't use anything to attract the insects. But I'm not against that method.
Nicely done, these are the shots I enjoy :)
As much as I think MPE is great, I think the magnification factor has pushed a lot of images to be 1 dimensional.
Lovely compositions LM. Esp like the two picture wing flies :)
